As soon as Wen Li entered the supply and marketing cooperative, the sales clerk saw her.

"Comrade, you've finally arrived! Your bicycle has been here for days!"

Wen Li smiled as she walked to the counter. "I've been busy lately, so it's only a couple of days late!"

"The bicycle is in the back storage room. Please wait a moment, I'll go get it for you!"

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

After waiting for a while, the saleswoman pushed out a brand new bicycle.

Wen Li checked everything and made sure there were no problems before paying the remaining amount.

"Comrade, remember to take it to the police station to get it stamped, so you don't lose it!"

"Okay, thank you, big sister, I'll go right now!"

There weren't many people at the bicycle stamping area, so the stamping was done quickly.

"Wen, the educated youth?"

Hearing the voice, Wen Li turned around and saw Officer Wang. "Officer Wang, hello!"

Officer Wang walked over with a smile. "It really is you! I thought I was seeing things. Are you getting your seal stamped?"

"Yes, I lost my bicycle last time, which made it inconvenient to get around, so I came here to buy another one!"

"Indeed, you have something else to do later?"

Wen Li realized that Officer Wang must have something to ask her, but she said she had nothing to say!

Officer Wang: "That's perfect! I have something to tell you. Come in and have a cup of tea!"

Wen Li: Why does this feel a little strange?

As Wen Li followed Officer Wang into the office, his face turned serious, and her heart pounded with anxiety as she looked at his solemn expression.

"Officer Wang, just say what's on your mind. I can handle it!"

Officer Wang sighed. "This matter was originally classified, but since it concerns your safety, I thought I should remind you!"

Wen Li knew what was going on; it must be related to those human traffickers.

"Yes, please tell me. I absolutely won't go around telling anyone!"

"Recently, a lot of people have been arrested in Yu City, but a few escaped and have likely come to our area. Those are all desperate criminals, so don't leave the village recently, lest they seek revenge on you!"

Wen Li knew it was related to those human traffickers. "Do you have any sketches of those people?"

Officer Wang looked worried. "Nothing yet. I only know one of them is called Brother Long. He has a mole on his chin. He's ruthless and has a gun. You have to be very careful!"

The other officers didn't say anything more, since these were all internal secrets. However, since Wen Li was involved, they couldn't just stand by and watch her go unguarded.

It was an exception that he reminded Wen Li.

After leaving the police station, Wen Li found a secluded alley and entered her spatial dimension, changing into Zhang Cuihua's attire.

After putting the goods away in the other yard, she took the prepared fruit to Gu Huai's yard.

When Scarface opened the door, he almost didn't recognize Wen Li when he saw her attire.

After all, Wen Li hadn't disguised herself as a woman since her identity was exposed. Although her face was covered, it was obvious that she was a young girl. Now that she had changed back into a woman's outfit, Scarface really didn't know what she was up to.

"Comrade Zhang Cuihua, what's going on...?"

"To deceive others!"

When Gu Huai saw Wen Li's outrageous outfit again, he almost choked on his tea.

"You really like this outfit?"

Wen Li removed the cloth from her face, glanced at him, and said, "You know my situation right now. Do you think I'd dare come out openly?"

"Hmm~ It's definitely right to feel threatened; quite a few people are watching your life right now!"

What do you mean?

"Recently, a group of strangers, men, women, and children, have appeared in the commune!"

"You suspect they're accomplices of those human traffickers?" Wen Li's heart jumped. "Is it really necessary? If they've done something illegal, they should be prepared to get caught. They don't retaliate against others, so they think I'm easy to bully?"

"It might not be so bad if it were someone else, but you..." Gu Huai took a sip of tea with a gloating expression.

"Among the group of people you arrested, there was one called Sister Mei. Sister Mei was a key figure. She betrayed a lot of their inside information. In addition, one of the children's families were in the military. Recently, dozens of human traffickers have been arrested."

Brother Long's power was almost completely wiped out. He can't get revenge on Sister Mei, so who else would he get revenge on if not you?

Wen Li was so angry that she drank several cups of tea before she could calm down. "Then why did you say that the commune has a lot of men, women, and children? Doesn't that mean they're quite powerful?"

Gu Huai tapped his fingers on the table. "Those people aren't sure if they're connected to Brother Long, but I got inside information that Brother Long arrived at the commune a few days ago, but he hasn't shown up yet. Nobody knows if it's true or not!"

Wen Li hadn't expected that Gu Huai knew so much inside information. Wang Gong'an hadn't told her these things either, probably because he was worried that she would be frightened if she heard them, so he chose to keep them from her.

"With your connections, finding out if Brother Long is at the commune shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Gu Huai looked at Wen Li with a "what nonsense are you talking about" expression.

"Those desperados wouldn't dare show their faces in the commune. Even if they wanted to hide, they'd hide in the countryside or the mountains. Otherwise, how could they still not be caught after so long?"

Wen Li realized she had indeed oversimplified things. "Okay, I was too narrow-minded!"

Most of Gu Huai's men were in the commune or county town, so it would be quite difficult to investigate the countryside.

"Do you have any plans? Should I get a few people to follow you?"

The two are now in the same boat; if Wen Li gets into trouble, he will suffer a huge loss.

"No need, I can protect myself. Those people are like rats in the gutter; as long as I don't leave the village, they can't do anything to me!"

There are only so many people in the village. If a stranger appears, the whole village will know. It's not like those people are really reckless enough to openly come to the village to take revenge on us.

"Okay, just keep that in mind. If it's inconvenient to deliver goods recently, it's fine to suspend this business for a while!"

Wen Li looked at Gu Huai in surprise.

Gu Huai met Wen Li's strange gaze, raised his hand to touch his face to make sure there was nothing on it, and then looked himself up and down at his clothes. There was nothing wrong with them!

"What kind of look is that?"

"I thought you only cared about money! I never expected you to be so considerate of me; I'm so touched!"

"You think everyone's as short-sighted as you!"

Wen Li: Well, you're still holding a grudge about what happened last time!

"Hey~ That happened so long ago, why are you still holding a grudge!"

"Hmph~ You ungrateful wretch!"

"By the way, has it been resolved over there?"

Gu Huai leaned back in his rocking chair, feigning heartbreak. "It's resolved. After this incident, I've finally seen the true colors of some people. It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to offer charcoal in the snow!"

Wen Li rolled her eyes inwardly, then grinned and took out two kinds of fruit from her basket. "Here you go~ your charcoal is here!"

When Gu Huai saw the juicy grapes and peaches, he could no longer continue his act.
